The recoil-reducing weight of the PDP Match Steel Frame should appeal to many competitors. Read More

Lead bullets have been a mainstay for competitive shooters for as long as there's been competitive shooting. That's because cast or swaged lead bullets have some advantages over jacketed or plated slugs. Cost is a significant factor. They are noticeably less expensive than jacketed or plated offerings. Another advantage is that lead offers less resistance in the bore and allows them to achieve the same velocities with a bit less powder than jacketed or plated bullets, which is handy when meeting a Power Factor (PF) is required.
